Hi Tim
Appreciated your notes too.
I seem to be well short of spark length for the power input.
Couple of questions if I can
1) Did you mean 5.2m streamer length. Thats really great

2) How many presnetations per rev on your ASRG. Mine had 12 statics for 12
bangs per rev.

3) Ithink I need to substantially increase my Cp. Will do that when I have
the $$
Best
